摘要:
A method and system for controlling the air/fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine (12) having first and second groups of cylinders coupled to first and second exhaust banks, respectively. The first exhaust bank includes a catalyst (20) and at least a pre-catalyst oxygen sensor (18). The second exhaust bank includes a catalyst (24) and no more than one post-catalyst oxygen sensor (26). The oxygen sensors monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases in their corresponding exhaust banks and provide feedback signals to a controller (202). The controller (202) uses the feedback signal from the pre-catalyst oxygen sensor (18) to calculate desired A/F values in the first group of cylinders. The controller uses both the feedback signal from the pre-catalyst oxygen sensor (18) and the feedback signal from the post-catalyst oxygen sensor (23) to calculate desired A/F values for the second group of cylinders.

摘要:
A method and system for controlling the air/fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine (12) having first and second groups of cylinders coupled to first and second exhaust banks (20,28), respectively. Each exhaust bank has a catalyst (16,24), a pre-catalyst oxygen sensor (14,22) and a post-catalyst oxygen sensor (18,26), wherein the oxygen sensors monitor the air/fuel ratio in their respective exhaust banks and provide corresponding feedback signals to a controller. The controller (202) uses the feedback signals to control the air/fuel ratio in the engine cylinders. When it is detected that one or the other of the pre-catalyst oxygen sensors (14,22) has degraded, the controller (202) calculates A/F values for the group of cylinders corresponding to the exhaust bank having a degraded EGO sensor based on feedback signals from the three still-functional oxygen sensors.
摘要:
A method and system for controlling the air/fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine (12) having a first group of cylinders and a second group of cylinders. The first group of cylinders is coupled to a catalyst (20) and at least one oxygen sensor (18,22), which provides a first feedback signal. The second group of cylinders is coupled to a catalyst (24) and a post-catalyst oxygen sensor (26), which provides a second feedback signal. A controller (202) uses the first and second feedback signals to calculate a short-term air/fuel bias value for the second group of cylinders. The controller (202) also calculates a new long-term air/fuel bias value corresponding to the current engine speed and engine. The new long-term air/fuel bias value is based on a previously-calculated long-term air/fuel bias value calculated for the same engine load and speed. A total air/fuel bias value is calculated based on the short-term air/fuel bias value and the long-term air/fuel bias value. The new long-term air/fuel bias value is stored for future calculations.
摘要:
A method and system for diagnosing catalyst operation in an internal combustion engine having a two-bank (34,36), three EGO sensor structure (38,42,46) includes determining the ratio of the arc length between the post-catalyst EGO sensor (46) signal and the arc length of a pre-catalyst EGO sensor (38) signal over a selected time period. In the system embodying the invention when an exhaust bank (36) is a one-sensor bank having only a post-catalyst EGO sensor (46) and no pre-catalyst EGO sensor, the system uses the arc length from the pre-catalyst EGO sensor (38) in the two-sensor bank (34) to calculate the arc length ratio, thereby allowing calculation of two arc length ratios without two matched pairs of EGO sensors. The ratio indicates the efficiency of the catalyst and may be compared with calibratable or experimentally-determined thresholds to monitor converter efficiency over time.

A method and system for diagnosing catalyst operation in an internal combustion engine (32) having a two-bank, three EGO sensor structure (38,42,46) includes monitoring when the EGO sensors switch states between rich and lean and determining the ratio between a switch count of the post-catalyst EGO sensor signal and a switch count of a pre-catalyst EGO sensor signal over a selected time period. If the exhaust bank is a one-sensor bank having only a post-catalyst EGO sensor (46) and not a pre-catalyst EGO sensor, the system uses the switch count from the pre-catalyst EGO sensor (38) in the two-sensor bank to calculate the switch ratio, thereby allowing calculation of two switch ratios without two matched pairs of EGO sensors. The switch ratio indicates the efficiency of the catalyst and may be compared with later-generated ratios to monitor converter efficiency over time.
